Yellow Elephant
Yellow elephant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

A Republican who says they support the troops, the president
and the war in Iraq, yet insists on staying safe at home,
urging others to do the actual fighting and dying. Derived
from Operation Yellow Elephant, a program devised by Jesus'
General, to encourage attendees at The Young Republican
National Convention to enlist in the military.

Yellow Elephants declare that one can not be a patriotic
American without supporting the war in Iraq, yet refuse to put
their own lives on the line.

A typical excuse is, "My war-supporting skills are needed
more here at home."

1. When it catches on, can we just call them "yellophants"?
They're GOP

They yell a lot (yet say very little)

They are cowards

They're also shameless sycophants to the BFEE
